Sec. 4C.1.1. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS PACKAGES ¶
A. Intent
i i
City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A
i i
The intent of the standards of this Section (Pedestrian Access Packages) is to promote walkability,
improve pedestrian access from the public realm to the interior of buildings, ensure that required entrances are conveniently and effectively accessible to pedestrians, and activate the public realm
with building access points and improve convenient pedestrian circulation through large sites to
an extent and frequency appropriate to the context.
B. Applicability
- Pedestrian access package standards apply to new construction, a major remodel, a site
modifcationi, or an exterior modifcationi, and are applied to a project as determined by the
pedestrian access package assigned by the Development Standards District (Part 4B) as
provided below:
a. 'Site access' standards only apply to street-facing entrances required by the applicable
Frontage District (Part 3B.) and all frontage yards.
b. 'Through Access' standards only apply when the lot area is greater than 30,000 feet, or
the lot width is equal to or greater than the pedestrian passageway spacing minimum of
the pedestrian access package assigned by the applicable Development Standards District
(Part 4B.), or the lot is a through lot or abuts either a public right-of-way, public access
easement, or a lot zoned with an Open Space Use District (Div. 5B.1.) on at least two
opposing lot lines, or any of the above lot characteristics combined.

For measurement of the frontage lot line, see Sec. 14.2.12. (Lot Line Determination) .
- Pedestrian Accessways
a. Pedestrian accessway spacing is measured as the distance between two pedestrian
accessways, following the geometry of the frontage lot line. Measurement shall be taken
a. The cumulative linear feet of covered pedestrian passageway is measured along the
centerline of the minimum pedestrian passageway width. Where any portion of the
minimum width of the pedestrian passageway is not open to the sky, the length of the
centerline having covered area perpendicular to it counts as covered length. The total
covered length is calculated as the sum of all portions of the centerline considered

Sec. 4C.1.2. PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES & TUNNELS ¶
A. Intent
City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A
The intent of the standards of this Section (Pedestrian Bridges & Tunnels) is to limit the creation of
new pedestrian bridges and tunnels that create an inhospitable environment for pedestrians at the
street level, and to ensure that, in the event pedestrian bridges and tunnels are deemed necessary
to the feasibility of a project, that they positively contribute to the public realm and general
pedestrian safety.
B. Applicability
Pedestrian bridges and tunnels standards are applicable to the new construction of pedestrian
bridges and pedestrian tunnels.
C. Standards
- General
The construction and operation of a pedestrian bridge or tunnel shall be authorized in accordance with Sec. 13B.2.5. (Director Determination) . In addition to the findings otherwise
required by Sec. 13B.2.5. (Director Determination), before granting approval, the Director shall find that the proposed pedestrian bridge or tunnel meets the requirements in Paragraph 2. (Performance Criteria) and Paragraph 3. (Justification Criteria) below. Conditions of approval
may be applied by the Director pursuant to Paragraph 4. (Additional Conditions of Approval)
below.
- Performance Criteria
A pedestrian bridge or tunnel shall meet all of the following performance criteria:
a. The design of the pedestrian bridge or tunnel is visually compatible with the buildings
involved and the surrounding environment.
b. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel does not have a detrimental effect on surrounding
properties, public right-of-way, or the movement of wildlife.
c. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel includes features that enhance the streetscape and
pedestrian safety.
d. The pedestrian bridge shall not include exterior signage.
e. Existing sidewalk widths shall not be reduced.
f. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel shall not detract from the intended use and activation of
the public sidewalk.
g. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel is not located above any lot zoned with an Open Space
Use District (Div. 5B.1.) .

[ FORM - FRONTAGE - STANDARDS ] [ USE - DENSITY ]
Div. 4C.1. (Pedestrian Access)
- Justification Criteria
City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A
The proposed pedestrian bridge or tunnel is justified by one or more of the following criteria:
a. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel is essential to the viability to, and only allowed for, one of
the following uses:
i. Civic facility
ii. School
iii. Hospital
iv. Convention Center
b. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel is essential to the health and safety of occupants of the
buildings it serves or the general public.
c. The pedestrian bridge or tunnel is essential to overcome physical constraints, such as
grade changes or public infrastructure.
- Additional Conditions of Approval
Conditions of approval may be imposed by the Director to ensure the proposed pedestrian bridge or tunnel does not detract from the pedestrian experience or have detrimental effects
on surrounding properties or the public right-of-way, or to meet any other performance
criteria.
